6 Racks of Ribs

[KevinG]

This will be the biggest smoke I've ever done in my Bradley. Saturday I've got my brother and sister and their families coming over. I'll be smoking 6 racks of ribs. Got them sitting in the fridge now waiting for my rub to show up. It's due today. Hope it isn't late!!



Went out and bought a bunch of chips and dip, and some veggies for a veggie platter for snacks.

Also going to make some potato salad and creamette salad.

Here's the Recipes (This is the same potato salad I gave to OU812).

That's a load of ribs Kevin!  I know you'll knock them out of the park.  I'm doing 4 racks myself this weekend.

Good luck my friend and show us the results.

Sounds mighty nice Kevin.

Looks like some good eats and some good times.

[OU812]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm RIBS !

Looks like a smokin weekend for everyone.

That tater salad taste better with the french dressin or the italian vinaigrette?

I like the ingredients in the Creamette Macaroni Salad, kinda what we were lookin for in my thread.

[KevinG]

I couldn't find the Italian Vinaigrette at my local grocery store, so I went with the French Dressing. I tried it with the Vinaigrette a long time ago, but don't remember so good how different it was. I just got done making the potato salad - had to sneak a taste. Pretty darn good.

Here's the potato salad.

[OU812]

Looks good.

With the french dressin in there I would of thought it would have a orange tint.

Thats what I get for thinkin.

[KevinG]

The orange gets kinda washed out by the large qty of potatoes and the green from the veggies.

[OU812]

I'm gonna try this tater salad , its real close to the one I normally make but mine has vinegar in it and the girls say to many onions in it.

[KevinG]

I like onions, and it does show through on this potato salad, I use the white ones. If she doesn't like onions, maybe switch to a sweeter yellow onion, or cut back on it a little.

[OU812]

Onions in almost every thing I cook.

I do use the yellow ones in the tater salad but the girls still say to much.

Have been cuttin down but like you I like onions.

Green onion with my Bloody Mary, in place of the celery stick, Oh Ya.

Sometime if you feel adventurous try adding sweet peas to either a pasta or potato salad.  I prefer to use the frozen baby version and do nothing more than run hot tap water over them in a strainer to quickly thaw them out, then add directly.  Or, you can put them in a colander/strainer and pour the hot water from cooking the pasta / potatoes over them to thaw.  I think they go best with a pasta salad that uses a mayonnaise-based dressing.

[KevinG]

That's one way to get my greens, hide em.  ;D

[BuyLowSellHigh]

Yep.  You can hide fruits too - put in a blender, add ice, add rum, blend.  Makes it easy to get 5-6 fruit servings every day.  ;D  ;D  ;D

yum

Ribs!  Heck Yeah!!!

Just make sure you allow plenty of time...
It's a lot easier/better to "hold 'em" than it is to "speed 'em up"...
